MODERATORS
Video files can be played with as little as 5% downloaded, so long as the header and footer are complete
Can those be reconstructed if necessary?
The header and footer? Possibly, if you knew the technical metadata of the file. Codec, bitrate, all that jazz
very loose definition of "played"
It works well with shows you want to start watching immediately. Enable sequential download, 2 minues to grab the header/footer, and you can start watching. It'll download faster than you watch.
well i know that... it's basically streaming from the torrent...
